This chapter describes the Tru64 UNIX applications that will help you achieve seamless Windows interaction with your UNIX system. The following topics are discussed:
The Advanced Server for UNIX (Section 10.1)
The INTERSOLV DataDirect software products that enable ODBC and JDBC connectivity for applications (Section 10.2)
The Advanced Server for UNIX software is a Tru64 UNIX layered application that integrates Tru64 UNIX and Windows environments. The Advanced Server for UNIX software implements Windows NT Server Version 4.0 services, security, and functionality on a system running the Tru64 UNIX operating system software. The Tru64 UNIX system on which the Advanced Server for UNIX software is running appears as a Windows NT Server to other Windows systems and to users of Windows systems, and can participate in a Windows NT and Windows 2000 domain.
You use native Windows commands and utilities to manage the Advanced Server for UNIX software and to make UNIX based file systems and printers available to Windows users as shares. Windows users connect to shares without modification to their software. Once connected, the Tru64 UNIX directory or printer associated with a share appears as a transparent extension to a Windows user's local computing environment.
The Advanced Server for UNIX software is packaged with the Tru64 UNIX
media kit and provides two free connects.
Contact your local HP
office or your HP authorized reseller for information about HP's
licensing terms and policies or purchasing an Advanced Server for UNIX license.
10.2 Data Access (ODBC and JDBC)
Tru64 UNIX provides the family of INTERSOLV DataDirect software products to enable ODBC and JDBC connectivity for your applications. This is optional software for use in developing and deploying applications and is licensed as part of the Tru64 UNIX operating system license.
SequeLink ODBC Edition is a universal ODBC client component. DataDirect SequeLink ODBC provides transparent connectivity to almost any type of client, network, server, or database.
For developers working with Java, JDBC provides Java applications to access data sources and databases across platforms. The SequeLink Java Edition is a universal standards-based implementation of JDBC. It is also flexible, providing scalable connectivity from multivendor client, server, and Web environments to industry-leading databases. It is optimized and tuned for the Java environment, extending the functionality and performance of existing systems and easily incorporating new technologies.
